Migrant crisis set to be a key topic in the upcoming 2024 presidential election

The US migrant crisis is due to be a key battleground in the upcoming 2024 presidential election. The Biden administration has paid a visit to Mexico to address the issue. An estimated 8,000 migrants are on their way to the US southern border. Migrant encounters at the US border are reaching unprecedented numbers, with December on track to break the monthly record. The Biden administration is committed to expanding legal pathways for migrants but says it needs more funding from Congress to do so.
